Best LIFE-ing is a good book. The most significant is the memoir aspect of the book. Personally, I found little help with attraction, but I read Julia’s story with an utter fascination. OK, let’s start from: CONS Shallow How-To Sections This is the only con I found in this book, but it’s quite debilitating nonetheless. […]

First of all, this book reads awesomely well. I couldn’t put it down despite its flaws. In fact, those flaws made “The System Is Unforgiving” so enjoyable.   So, traditionally, let’s start the review with CONS 1. The Bragging Style. Half into the book I was sick of Allen stroking his ego. It seemed like […]

I usually start my reviews from the CONs, but there is little to be choosy about here. The only drawback is there are not a lot of business lessons in the book. It’s a great read, but I have only 11 highlights and notes. So, I didn’t learn a lot. Oh, and despite all the […]

Perseverance pays off. After a few years of writing a book review every month, a prestigious PR firm noticed me. They sent me an advance reading copy of the 30th Anniversary Edition of The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People. This edition contains a new original content by Sean Covey, a son of Stephen R. […]

I must confess I always liked survival stories. I read Robinson Crusoe at least several times. Ron’s adventures weren’t nearly as extreme as Robinson’s, but I enjoyed them even more. As I get older, realism means more than thrill; Off Grid and Free provides an enormous dose of realism. There were parts of the book […]

This book is a small valuable gem. I breezed through it within an hour, but it gave me multiple light bulb moments. Traditionally, let’s start from (a couple of): CONS 1. No Kindle version. C’mon! We have the 21st century here! Who am I, a caveman, to read the paperback version? 2. No summary at […]

I have so many issues with this book. Not because it’s bad. Rather, I know it could be so much better. So, I found numerous CONS and, as usual, will share them first. It doesn’t change the fact that Legendary is a very valuable book. Read my review till the end and you discover even […]

This book is VERY good. One of the best nonfiction books I’ve ever read (I’ve lost count, probably over 1,000 books). It doesn’t change the fact that there are some cons, and as usual, I’ll start with them. CONS 1. The Flaw The main con of the book is a piece of absolute, utter hogwash […]

I read this book because I sometimes read books totally outside of my field of interest. I like to broaden my horizons. And you never know—my parents are over 65 now. So, I didn’t read Toolkit for Caregivers to solve my immediate problems and needs. I read it as a book. And it’s a good […]

This is a very solid book written by a couple of practitioners. The content and flow are perfect. The only cons of the book are not in the book, but rather what was left out. CONS 1. The elephant in the room. I kept reading the book and felt a huge omission. The authors ideally […]
